One of the best parts of video production is sharing your work with others. Before you give it to your learning audience, you need to push the go button on your review process. It’s important to get stakeholder buy-in before you publish. If you are doing a DIY video for which you are the only stakeholder, you should still review and tweak. Get a friend or colleague to put their eyes on it and give you a fresh perspective.

1. Using a Distribution Prep Sheet

The sheet provides guidance on sharing videos for review, including drafting personalized messages and seeking specific types of feedback. It also helps in planning distribution locations and export settings, as well as establishing a timeline for the review cycle and subsequent edits. The post emphasizes the importance of clear communication and actionable feedback, while also addressing data check-ins and future updates. By utilizing this prep sheet, educators and trainers can effectively distribute their videos and create impactful learning experiences.

Summary

Once you publish a learning video you are on the clock. Even if you tried to plan and produce evergreen content, eventually you will need to update the video. If you or your management team has planned appropriately, it will be time to start the measurement and maintenance phase of the learning plan.

In other words, deploying your video for learning is not the end of the instructional design process. You need to have reminders built into a calendar to check-in on your video’s success. Typically, this is built into the overall training strategy.

A video is like dried basil. When you first get it, the flavor is amazing. Three years later, that basil could be as bland as oatmeal. A video (especially a live video) ages quickly. The content may stay relevant for a year, but don’t assume people will want to watch it after a year. Three years later, I’m guessing no one is watching that pre-recorded live video–at least not by choice.
